Huang Feihong
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="4" >01-teenager fame</h1>
On July 9, 1856, Huang Feihong was born in a poor peasant family in Luzhou Village, at the foot of Xiqiao Mountain in Foshan, Guangzhou. His father, Huang Qiying, was the fourth generation of Shaolin Hongquan and was known as one of the "Ten Tigers of Guangdong" in wulin in the late Qing Dynasty.
Although Huang Qiying is strong in martial arts, practicing martial arts does not improve his family. In order to make a living, Huang Qiying has opened a drug store and served as a coach in the military, but the remuneration is meager, and the Life of the Huang family is very difficult. In his spare time, Huang Qiying went to the street to sell art and earn a little money to supplement the family.
At that time, the Guangzhou area became a common practice in martial arts, but since he was a child, he had traveled the rivers and lakes and practiced medicine and sold art, and Huang Qiying could be said to have suffered a lot. He did not want his son to repeat his old ways, so he forbade Huang Feihong to learn martial arts.
In the blink of an eye, Huang Feihong reached the age of schooling, and his father sent him to a private school, hoping that he would be able to pass the meritorious examination in the future and honor his ancestors. However, Huang Feihong was not serious about studying, and he often skipped school and ran to the street to watch his father perform martial arts, and secretly practiced those moves and styles at home.
In the eyes of six- and seven-year-old children, the "Three Character Classic" and "Hundred Family Names" are boring and boring; on the contrary, their father's martial arts performances are wonderful. Huang Qiying's fist and foot kung fu, knives, guns and sticks are unmatched, in Huang Feihong's heart, his father is the big hero who walks the rivers and lakes, and he also wants to become a person like his father.
After a long time, Huang Qiying found that his son had skipped school and beat him up. But Huang Feihong said, "Dad, I will go to the street with you to sell art in the future." Huang Qiying saw that his son was so stubborn, and he shook his head helplessly, only to agree to come down.
From the age of seven or eight, Huang Feihong followed his father to sell art on the streets. Huang Qiying found that this child is very talented in martial arts, and many martial arts routines only need to be demonstrated once, and he will be able to do it. Huang Feihong not only has strong comprehension ability, but also can integrate one move and one style, and learn with a board and an eye.
Street art is not unusual, but the street art of Huang Feihong at a young age has attracted everyone's attention. Every time Huang Feihong performed, the audience was surrounded by water, applause and applause.
Street art
Street art, but also some medicine to treat bruises. Father and son sell art and medicine together, and they earn more than before. The business of the Huang family father and son is getting better and better every day, but it has attracted the jealousy of their peers.
There is a martial artist Zheng Daxiong, who is also a street artist, at the instigation of others, under the pretext of Huang Feihong's slander of the "left-handed fishing stick method" that he is best at, to compete with Huang Feihong.
At that time, Huang Feihong was only 12 years old, and Huang Qiying did not want his son to take risks, but the other party was fierce, and he could not hide. There was no way, Huang Qiying had to instruct his son overnight how to crack Zheng Daxiong's stick method.
By noon the next day, a large circle of people had been gathered around the place where the contest had been agreed. Many unscrupulous peers are waiting to see the jokes of the Huang family's father and son. The newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, and Huang Feihong is not afraid of the stage, and as soon as he arches his hand at Zheng Daxiong, he holds a wooden stick and swings the position. The crowd of onlookers applauded.
The result of the competition surprised everyone, and Huang Feihong defeated Zheng Daxiong by a slight advantage. A famous martial artist actually lost to a 12-year-old child, and zheng Daxiong, who was not skilled, disappeared into the crowd with his apprentice.
This street competition made Huang Feihong a teenager famous, and the people of Foshan all knew his name. After that, the father and son sold art and medicine on the street, and there were more people in the audience.
One day in 1869, the Huang family father and son were selling art in Tempeh Lane, and a martial arts master named Lin Fucheng was pestered on the street because he accidentally injured someone. Huang Qiying saw the situation and went forward to relieve Lin Fucheng.
Lin Fucheng is the apprentice of the famous martial artist Tieqiao Mountain, and specializes in Feituo stunts and Clematis. In order to show his gratitude, Lin Fucheng took Huang Feihong as an apprentice and taught him feituo stunts and clematis. After completing his studies, Huang Feihong's martial arts also reached a higher level.
Still

Huang Feihong was fifteen or sixteen years old, and he was old enough to go out and do some fun. After consulting with his father, Huang Feihong decided to bid farewell to his hometown and come to Guangzhou to make a living.
After arriving in Guangzhou, he still practiced morning and evening as before, and went to the streets during the day to sell art and medicine. One night, Huang Feihong stayed overnight at an inn and encountered robbers in the middle of the night. He got up from bed, pushed open the door and fought with the robbers.
In the end, Huang Feihong single-handedly drove away dozens of robbers armed with knives and guns. Huang Feihong's bravery this time also allowed him to open up his reputation in Guangzhou.
At that time, there were many blacksmiths, coppersmiths and other workers in Guangzhou, and many people had to learn martial arts to defend themselves in a chaotic world. Some workers found Huang Feihong and wanted to worship him as a teacher.
In 1872, at the age of 16, Huang Feihong, with the help of his co-workers, pooled his money to open a martial arts gym in the Seventh FuShuijiao. Workers work during the day and come to learn kung fu from Huang Feihong at night. Huang Feihong also had a place to stay, saying goodbye to the life of selling art on the street.
Two years later, Huang Feihong gradually broke through the fame in Guangzhou. He was approached by the local "Three Columns" hoping to hire him as a guard. Saying that he is a guard, in fact, there is nothing to do, that is, to rely on his reputation in the jianghu to prevent someone from making trouble.
The so-called "three-column line" is the fruit bar where fruits are bought, the vegetable bar that sells vegetables, and the fish bar where fish are sold. Although Huang Feihong opened a martial arts gym, his co-workers were very poor, and it was not as rich as those who did business. Huang Feihong agreed and became the guard of the "three columns".
Among Huang Feihong's apprentices, there was a man named Liang Kuan, who had a strong understanding and learned kung fu very quickly, and obtained huang Feihong's true transmission. Later, after Liang Kuan left the school, he also opened a martial arts hall in Guangzhou. In the main hall of the martial arts hall hangs a portrait of a reed crossing the river by Dharma Guru, flanked by a couplet of Huang Feihong's handwriting:
"Dharmasic came to Guangdong Hualin to teach Zen fist as one, and my generations are inherited; the supreme goodness teaches the Dharma from the Min Sui Hai Building to the south to pass on the Shaolin vein, and there are people who respect the master as the ancestor."
In 1875, Huang Feihong's career in Guangzhou was prosperous, but something big happened at home. Huang Feihong's mother tragically died in a fire, and he had to leave Guangzhou to return to Foshan to mourn for his mother.
After dealing with his mother's affairs, Huang Feihong stayed in Foshan for a while under the persuasion of his father. During this period, he became acquainted with the martial artist Song Huibo of Foshan, and the two often exchanged martial arts, and Huang Feihong learned "Foshan Shadowless Feet" from him. The so-called Foshan shadowless foot is actually not a serial leg played in the movie, but a sneak attack leg method.
Huang Feihong's fourth wife, Mo Guilan, recalled: "Before this move is shot, the opponent is dazzled by the rapid move in his hand, and when the opponent's attention is fully attracted, he suddenly kicks him in the front when he is not ready, so that the opponent is invincible." ”
The exchange with Song Huibo made Huang Feihong have another self-defense and victory skill.
In 1876, At the invitation of another apprentice, Lu Zhenggang, Wong Fei Hung went to Hong Kong alone. His martial arts hall in Guangzhou and his livelihood in the "Three Columns Line" were handed over to his apprentice Liang Kuan to take care of. After arriving in Hong Kong, Huang Feihong staged a story of "fighting vicious dogs", which made him famous in Hong Kong.
At that time, Hong Kong was forcibly occupied by the British, and the foreigners were unscrupulous and overbearing there. There was an Englishman who led a large wolfhound in the downtown area, saying that Chinese was a coward, and no one dared to compete with him.
The backbone Chinese couldn't see it, and some people went on stage to compete, but they were all bitten by vicious dogs. The British were even more arrogant, threatening to take 500 yuan if anyone could win the vicious dog, and 5 yuan if they lost. The onlookers were indignant, but they were afraid of being bitten by vicious dogs.
At the critical moment, Huang Feihong stood up and signed a life and death certificate with the British. Previously, he had carefully observed the attack characteristics of the wolfhound. After taking the stage, Huang Feihong calmly coped, the wolf dog pounced many times, Huang Feihong just jumped to avoid, and did not counterattack. The audience in the audience all sweated for him.
Huang Feihong retreated to advance, suddenly left and right, in fact, to let the wolfhound consume physical strength. The wolfdog attacked fruitlessly, tired and breathless, Huang Feihong saw that the purpose had been achieved, so he turned sideways forward, and when the wolfdog pounced on him, the flying foot was like the wind and fierce, and suddenly kicked the wolfdog's back. This kick was accurate and fierce, breaking the wolfhound's backbone!
The onlookers all clapped their hands and praised Huang Feihong's feat. Huang Feihong's story of "fighting the evil dog" was published in the newspaper the next day. He lectured the British and gave everyone a bad breath. After that, Huang Feihong opened a martial arts hall in Hong Kong and taught apprentices.

A few years later, Huang Feihong returned to his hometown of Foshan from Hong Kong and got married under his father's arrangement. But three months later, his new wife, Roche, died soon after, unaware of her illness.
Suffering from the loss of his wife, Huang Feihong left his hometown of Foshan and came to Guangzhou again. In 1882, the country was under the internal and external troubles, Huang Feihong was well aware of the truth that "the rise and fall of the country, the pi fu has the responsibility", under the hiring of the admiral Wu Quanmei, he joined the Guangzhou Water Division as a coach.
When Huang Feihong was 30 years old, his father Huang Qiying was seriously ill. Huang Feihong had to resign from his military post and return to his hometown of Foshan to take care of his father. Soon, his father Huang Qiying died of illness, and Huang Feihong was devastated and buried his father in the foothills of Baiyun Mountain in Guangzhou according to local customs.
Before his father died, he told Huang Feihong that it was better to settle down and settle down, not to fight and kill again, and to open a medical center to treat diseases and save people, which was better than opening a martial arts museum. Huang Feihong obeyed his father's instructions and painfully closed the martial arts hall in Guangzhou.
In 1886, Huang Feihong opened a stumbling medical hall "Bao Zhilin" in Ren'an Street, Guangzhou, with a couplet hanging in front of the door: "The sword is sheathed, and the zhi grass is forested." "Huang Feihong's medical center not only teaches martial arts, but also treats patients.
Bozhilin
The local people all know that Huang Feihong is strong in martial arts, and they do not know that he has studied Chinese medicine with his father, and he does not believe in Huang Feihong's medical skills. For a long time, Huang Feihong's medical hall was snubbed. Until one day, Huang Feihong healed a special patient, and the situation gradually improved.
This patient was Liu Yongfu, the commander of the Mighty Black Flag Army. Liu Yongfu suffers from a foot disease and has been seeking medical treatment for several years, but has not seen any improvement.
Liu Yongfu admired Huang Feihong's heroic name, and one day he had time to visit Huang Feihong, and talked about his troubles during the conversation. Huang Feihong listened and said, "If the general trusts me Feihong, I can cure your foot disease." ”
Liu Yongfu trusted Huang Feihong and accepted Huang Feihong's treatment. Unexpectedly, Huang Feihong cured Liu Yongfu's foot disease. Liu Yongfu was very surprised, saying that Huang Feihong was the reincarnation of Huatuo, and also sent someone to give a plaque with the words "Mastery of Medical Arts".
Since then, the news of Huang Feihong's excellent medical skills has not gone away, and many people have come to him for medical treatment. More and more people came to "Baozhilin" to see a doctor, more than the people who came to learn martial arts, and the voice of ordinary people calling "Master Huang" could be heard everywhere in the medical hall.
Huang Feihong hangs the pot in the world, and when he encounters poor patients, he never collects medical fees. Just as the fame of "Bao Zhilin" was growing, Liu Yongfu found Huang Feihong and hoped that he would serve in the army as a military Chinese medicine officer and martial arts instructor. The enthusiasm of serving the country made Huang Feihong resolutely join the Black Flag Army.
In 1894, when the Sino-Japanese Sino-Japanese War broke out, Liu Yongfu was ordered to go to Taiwan to handle defense affairs, and later he was ordered to garrison Tainan. He successively recruited new soldiers in Chaoshan and Taiwan, expanded the Black Flag Army, and was determined to fight to the end to defend Taiwan. During this period, Huang Feihong has been following Liu Yongfu, assisting him in training new soldiers, treating the wounded, and doing his part to defend his family and country.
However, the corrupt and incompetent Qing government signed the Treaty of Maguan with Japan in April 1895, ceding Taiwan and the Penghu Islands to Japan.
The Black Flag Army led by Liu Yongfu refused to surrender, and he issued a call for a joint anti-Japanese resistance in Tainan, saying that in order to defend the country, "we will not give up in death" and that "even if there is only one line left in the land, we should be hasty and not killed."
Liu Yongfu
The Qing government, anxious to seek peace, went so far as to have Li Hongzhang order officials and troops everywhere not to aid Taiwan. After two months of bitter persistence, Liu Yongfu's Black Flag Army failed to defend the platform and was forced to withdraw to Fujian.
Disheartened, Huang Feihong returned to Guangzhou. Continuing to run "BaoZhilin" and practicing medicine and selling medicine, he made up his mind not to teach martial arts anymore, nor to easily compete with others.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="87" >04-Haunted Hate</h1>
In film and television works, Huang Feihong always has a "thirteen aunts" by his side. The image of the thirteenth aunt left a deep impression on people. About the prototype of the thirteenth aunt, it has also caused a lot of speculation. Some people say that it is Lu Akuan, a young girl from Hong Kong, and some people say that it is Wong FeiHong's fourth wife, Mo Guilan.
The real Huang Feihong in history actually did not have any "thirteen aunts" around him. The image of the thirteenth aunt is made up by Hong Kong movies.
Huang Feihong was married 4 times in his life, and his first wife Luo Shi died of illness only three months after marriage; the second wife of the remarried, Ma Shi, gave birth to two sons and two daughters for him, and also died of illness; the third wife, Cen Shi, bore him two sons and died of illness soon after.
At that time, people were superstitious, and 3 wives died of illness one after another, so some people spread that he "ke wife", even Huang Feihong himself believed. After the death of his third wife, he remained celibate for more than a decade. Until the age of 59, when Huang Feihong was 59 years old, he married his fourth wife in the name of a concubine, Mo Guilan, who was only 19 years old at the time.
Old husband and young wife, there is a good story about Huang Feihong's acquaintance with Mo Guilan. Huang Feihong loved lion dance performances in his later years, and once during the lion dance on stage, he accidentally kicked the cloth shoes on his feet out because he was too hard. Coincidentally, the shoe hit a little girl who was watching the performance offstage.
This little girl is Mo Guilan, who is only 19 years old. Huang Feihong came to the door afterwards to apologize, Mo Guilan has admired Huang Feihong since he was a child, not only did not calculate, but also pestered huang Feihong to learn martial arts as a teacher. One came and went, and the two became acquainted.
A lion dance performance has achieved a marriage between young and old. Because he was jealous of the saying of "ke wife", Huang Feihong did not dare to marry the media, but took Mo Guilanna as a concubine. The previous three wives had all died early, and Mo Guilan, who dared to act boldly, did not care about any fame and married Huang Feihong.
Mo Guilan
Mo Guilan is only 19 years old, Huang Feihong is already 59 years old, and the difference between the two is a full 40 years. They have no children, and Mo Guilan regards the children born to Huang Feihong and his former wife as her own and takes good care of them.
Among Huang Feihong's 4 sons, the second son, Huang Hansen, was tall and handsome and deeply loved by him. Huang Feihong also passed on his own mastery to Huang Hansen.
Huang Hansen went to a guard brigade camp as a guard, he was shrewd and capable, and he had kung fu, and he was quickly appreciated by his boss and became a small leader. Inside the security camp, there was a guy named Zhang Yuqi, who was also a small leader, jealous of Huang Hansen's ability, and often troubled him.
Once, Zhang Yuqi shouted to Huang Hansen to compete. Huang Hansen, who was really angry, agreed, and before the two of them could make three moves, Zhang Yuqi was knocked to the ground. Since then, Zhang has held a grudge against Huang Hansen and always wants to kill him.
During the Mid-Autumn Festival of this year, a group escorted a merchant ship to the port of Wuzhou in Guangxi. At dinner in the evening, Zhang Yuqi, who was pregnant with a ghost fetus, used the excuse of shaking hands with Huang Hansen and constantly gave him toasts. When the banquet was gone, Zhang Yuqi pulled out his gun and killed Huang Hansen.
When the bad news reached Guangzhou, Huang Feihong and Mo Guilan were devastated. After losing his son in his old age, the white-haired people sent the black-haired people, and Huang Feihong could not hide his sorrow in his heart. "Xi Wu will form a grudge", no matter how high the martial arts are, what is the use? After that, he forbade the remaining three sons to learn martial arts.
In 1924, a rebellion broke out in the Guangzhou area. On October 13, the city of Guangzhou declared martial law, and Hu Hanming ordered the dissolution of the merchant group. Chiang Kai-shek was ordered to lead an army to suppress the rebellion of the Merchants. In the process of suppressing the merchant groups, some lawless soldiers and hooligans took the opportunity to smash and set fires in the Xiguan area.
Huang Feihong's decades-long painstaking management of Ren'an Street "Baozhilin" was also affected in this war, and a fire destroyed Baozhilin and also burned Huang Feihong's decades of painstaking efforts. Although the Shang rebellion was quelled, all of Huang Feihong's assets were burned to the ground.
The second son, Huang Hansen, was killed, the medicine shop Bao Zhilin was burned, and a series of blows made Huang Feihong angry and angry, and he could not afford to be sick and was admitted to the hospital. Soon Huang Feihong became seriously ill, and he called his wife Mo Guilan and instructed: "Bao Zhilin can't just finish it like this, we must reopen it, this is my wish, I can only hand it over to you and the children." ”
On April 27, 1925, a generation of heroes Huang Feihong passed away at the age of 69. Because Bao Zhilin was burned down, the Huang family, whose family was surrounded by disciples, could not even get the money to bury Huang Feihong. Mo Guilan had no choice but to sell jewelry, and Huang Feihong's disciples heard about this and buried him in the foothills of Baiyun Mountain.
Soon, in order to avoid the disaster of war, Mo Guilan took Huang Feihong and his two sons born to his ex-wife, Huang Hanshu and Han Xi, to Hong Kong to make a living. After arriving in Hong Kong, Mo Guilan and his two sons opened the Bao Zhilin and Huang Feihong Guoshu Museum, fulfilling Huang Feihong's last wish.
When Huang Feihong was alive, he was just a very ordinary Guangzhou martial artist. He is truly famous because of the propaganda of his disciples and grandchildren in Hong Kong.
Among Huang Feihong's apprentices, there was one named Lin Shirong, who took in an apprentice named Liu Zhan after arriving in Hong Kong. Liu Zhan had two sons, one named Liu Jialiang and the other liu Jiarong. In particular, Liu Jialiang, who was a martial arts instructor in the Hong Kong film circle at that time, had a great influence on the development of Hong Kong martial arts films in the 1970s and 1980s.
The rapid popularity of Hong Kong martial arts films has spawned the Wong Fei Hung series of films. In 1933, Zhu Yuzhai wrote the martial arts novel "The Biography of Huang Feihong", which was adapted to the big screen. With the popularity of the Huang Feihong series of movies, Huang Feihong's name is also well known to everyone under the impetus of his disciples and grandchildren.
